    Arthur Chu Retweeted El Sandifer, Rationality Expert to the Stars

    Whisp and Scamander are, obviously, fictional characters from within the Harry Potter "universe" not intended to be seriously read as a pseudonym But it is telling that so few of the people who matter in the HP universe are womenhttps://twitter.com/ElSandifer/status/1373852985512583170 …

    Arthur Chu added,

    El Sandifer, Rationality Expert to the Stars @ElSandifer
    Have just realized that J.K. Rowling wrote books under the names Kennilworthy Whisp and Newt Scarmander, which means she has a total of four separate pen names designed to make her sound like she's a man.

        Having internalized sexism and deciding you think women characters just aren't important is, of course, incredibly common among cis women and not indicative of all that much But in combination with the other stuff it's kind of telling

        Like, the Robert Galbraith secret identity isn't just a "generic male pen name", it's this whole ridiculous machismo-poisoning persona with an absurd Threat Level Midnight-style biography

        I mean sure only half of her male pseudonyms were intended to pass but I'm not sure that point helps her.

        They're also written from the perspective of male characters, with some lowkey misogyny that's never made clear how much it's supposed to represent the characters, and how much is Rowling's internalised misogyny.

        seems similar to the "im definitely a cis toxic gamer bro i just play women in every single game it's possible to make a custom character in because they're sexy" origin stories ive heard
